FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Alpha Video Achieves Gold Status AV Industry Certification

Certified audiovisual solutions provider program signifies company commitment to education and training

 

Minneapolis, MN, March 16, 2007– Alpha Video today announced its participation in the audiovisual industry’s highly regarded certification program, marking its commitment to education and training for all employees. 

 

The Certified AudioVisual Solutions Provider (CAVSP) program is the industry standard certification program for companies in the professional audiovisual industry.  It is administered by InfoComm International and the International Communications Industries Foundation (ICIF).

 

“A CAVSP designation gives AV companies a competitive advantage in the marketplace,” said Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D., InfoComm International’s Executive Director.  “Customers of audiovisual communications and presentation systems can be confident of professionalism and an aspiration to excellence when working with these companies that have invested in education and training to stay current on the latest AV technologies and techniques.”

 

The CAVSP program includes three levels – basic, silver and gold certified members – depending on the percentage of staff within an organization that has received individual certification.  Individual certification is known as the Certified Technology Specialist (CTS) program, and consists of general certification as well as specialized certification in design, installation, rentals or sales.

 

”Alpha Video is proud to be appointed a Certified Audiovisual Solutions Provider at the Gold level by ICIA and ICIF,” said Kevin Groves, Alpha Video’s COO and Director of Sales. “Our commitment to the ongoing education of our personnel is as strong as ever, and we will continue to provide the professional and knowledgeable staff our clients have come to expect.”

 

Companies eligible for CAVSP status include businesses that manufacture, sell, integrate, design, provide consultation on or rent AV equipment, systems and services. The CAVSP program (formerly InfoComm International’s Certified Member Program) ties in with the AVolution Industry Awareness Campaign that promotes the skills and talents of professional AVolutions providers (AVSPs).  To achieve CAVSP status, the company must participate in AVolution by agreeing to ten Standards of Excellence.
